All this fuss and he admits quantum risk is very likely a decade away but we need to start thinking about it today. This is not an imminent threat and the only reason to prep today is the social inertia in Bitcoin. All Nic requests is to “start discussing it today because it is a long process” And he ignores: - social consensus happens very fast when a real threat exists - scientific progress on post-quantum algorithms are underway anyways and not impacted by social inertia - if a heavily capitalized, covert, quantum attacker steals Satoshi’s coins (as the largest vulnerable batch) they wont be able to make much money as the market will break and go illiquid - there are no technical barriers in making bitcoin quantum secure. It is all worries based on assumed sluggish behavioral response. Instead of this self-serving public fuss, it is better to calmly contribute to a technical discussion among the devs.(Sina 🗝️⚡ BI Report)
